Before the last straight line of the Tour de France, the riders can breathe a good blow with the 3rd and last day of rest not far from Carcassonne, scene of the finish on Sunday. The opportunity for ASO, the organizer of the Tour, to communicate the gains of each team following 15 stages.
Unsurprisingly, it was the Jumbo-Visma team of Jonas Vingegaard and Wout van Aert who pranced in the lead. Thanks to its three stage victories, the green jersey and the yellow jersey (provisional) but also five second places (four for Van Aert and one for Vingegaard), the Dutch team has already totaled €111,350. This is more than double the amount pocketed by his runner-up Ineos Grenadiers (€50,970). the BikeExchange team came in 3rd position with €45,950 thanks to the fine performances of Groenewegen, Matthews and even Schultz.
Tadej Pogacar’s UAE side come fourth with €44,450.
On the Belgian side, the Quick Step (6th – €33,420), Alpecin-Deceuninck (8th – €28,280) and Intermarché-Wanty Gobert (9th – €28,280) teams are in the top 10 while the Lotto Soudal team, not at the party on this Tour de France, points in penultimate position with 6,070 €. Only the Astana team does worse with just €2,340.
